mud huts
Primitive clay shelters
Mud huts are simple dwellings with walls made from mud, clay, or earth, often mixed with straw or dung and dried in the sun.
The term typically describes traditional housing in Africa, parts of Asia, and other regions.
In Western usage, mud huts often carry condescending connotations—evoking primitiveness or poverty—though such construction represents sophisticated adaptation to local materials and climate.
